Well, I'm trying to help a woman who is setting up a book launch downstairs and also skype a friend who had a scare with her husband last night (ambulance job) so it's busy! But I'm fine. You OK?

Book launch - she's written a book on some old artist - apparently it's taken years so there's wine and nibbles to get it on its way!
I'd better pop downstairs and check that people have turned up.

Stone cladding? On a shed? Are you mental or something?
Creosote is generally the preferred covering for wooden sheds. However, if it's brick built then one should either leave it as brick (although you could use masonary paint to spiff it up a bit), or pebbledash it.
Pebbledashing is coming back you know. Oh yes. Houses, sheds... cars. Everything will be pebbledashed one day, mark my words. For they are wise indeed.

When you drive to Cornwall (in your horseless carriage that's bound to frighten the locals) you'll be able to tell when you're close as not only will you have crossed the Taymar but walls by the road will have Cornish flags daubed on them as well as the slogan 'KERNOW BIS VICKEN' (Cornwall is great).
But on the Atlantic highway (A39- the non main road between Cornwall and Devon) the "Welcome to Cornwall" sign has spray painted on it: LOCALS ONLY.
It's a local county, for local people. And their sisters.

which is the one before Rain Dogs. They're probably my two favourite albums of his (Sam listening to music made in the 80s shocker!).
Bone Machine is well good too, I'm listening to that at the moment. Not so keen on the more show tune type stuff.
Edit: wasn't swordfishtrombones also badongism/BOAT's original username on here? Not entirely sure why or how I know that! He may have been a Jason Mraz fan (serious minus points) but at least the man seems to have some taste.

tomorrow's fashion statement shall be magenta salopets with a paisley bomber jacket and matching jackboots.
Mark my words. Remember you heard it here first. On the internet.

I am quite fanatical about listening to albums from beginning to end though, I despise this iTunes single track playlist shuffle culture.
Edit: al, he has no personality or presence or anything though, it's all so bland! He sounds like what a pot of extra low fat cottage cheese would sound like, if someone taught it to play the guitar.

I've got some of swordfishtrombones. I'll download that track.
Listening to Monster Magnet now for a bit of nostalgia:)

are you planning misbehaviour?
I'm listening to 'Clap Hands' because the percussion makes me go all funny.

to full albums, and putting my ipod on shuffle.
I have 78Gigs of music on mine, if I had to choose what to listen to every time I would never have time to drive anywhere. Shuffle lets me hear songs I wouldn't otherwise hear.

Superb choice!
Predated so many people doing far less interesting things.
Edit: al, you wouldn't believe how long it takes me to choose what I want to listen to. Usually end up sitting at the computer in front of My Computer screen for about half hour, I have a lot more than 78 gig.
The whole album thing is becoming less relevant though, not many people produce things that are written to be listened to in one session any more. For maximum geek points I have a .wav file of silence, approx 8 secs in length, to insert in Winamp playlists between (what would have been) sides A & B of the album, for that authentic vinyl listening experience.
I should probably get out more.

Nay, the band Monster Magnet.
The track is Dopes to Infinity:D

Live he has great stage presence, he's a phenomenal singer and he can freestyle rap better than most of the shit that gets put out on "urban" record labels these days.
His band are fantastically tight and every time I've seen him I've had a great time.

I sometimes put mine on shuffle and either have no idea what song is playing or deny ever having put it there.
Sam, I don't agree. I'm starting to think you shouldn't go out at all.
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:17, Reply)

I think the phrase
Genre(s): Hard rock, psychedelic rock, space rock, stoner metal
on the Wikipedia page about them mean I shall be acquiring some of their material forthwith!
Also interestingly the page says that Monster Magnet was some sort of 60s toy, I assumed they must have named themselves after the Zappa song .
He just does nothing for me al. Like Springsteen or Lenny Kravitz or Coldplay or something, a lot of people rave about but just seems like really slickly packaged bland nothingness to me. You may infer from my posts in this thread and others that I listen to what I consider to be the exact opposite of this.

And I'm sure tat somebody has hijacked it at some point!
I have so much crap in there.

I realised how good the Stones are. I now need to go and copy my friends back catalogue.
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:19, Reply)

Zappa may have name the track after the toy and the band may have named themselves after the Zappa track? *confusing*
My favourite albums are Dopes to Infinity and Powertrip.
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:21, Reply)

cos I never go out!
The rest of my family find it strange that I listen to music in the same way (and in preference to) they watch TV. Just sit in a big armchair and listen to it, not do anything else with music in the background. Just listen to it!
Edit: says on the all-knowing Wikipedia that they named themselves after the toy BK, I have no idea though. The Zappa one was definitely released first though!
Edit 2: I've shuffled my entire music library and it comes up with some serious fucking weirdness! According to Winamp I have enough music to play for 397 days 04:43:32...

It certainly is!
You may get my new sig then!
*goes off to change*
Later al!

I have no idea about your sig BK but I shall download some Monster Magnet and attempt to find out!
100 points for mine btw, it's lyrics but I'm fairly sure it's not on Google. Interview with the artist in Saturday's Guardian which didn't even acknowledge the album this came from, if you need a clue.

My local chippy does them in kebabs. You sometimes get a bit of fur in your teeth, but if you've had 20 bottles of Stella you tend not to notice.
There isn't a stray cat problem in Cruddas Park, oddly enough. It's like civic duty.

Why don't you go out?
What region of the UK are you in?
(Not that I am assuming this is a factor...)
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:34, Reply)

Released in 2004, re-released this year, sounds a lot older though.
clendrix, I'm about 50 miles from my nearest friend, I live in the middle of nowhere so I have nowhere to go! Need to move before I go entirely mental but need to sort a few things out first...
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:37, Reply)

That is odd - I haven't got much embarassing on mine.
Wouldn't want it to suddenly blast out Pig Destroyer or Cephalic Carnage during any amorous encounters though.
Anyway, off to bed lovely people. No doubt I'll see thee in the morrow!
*huggles all round*

But you're Scottish (I know these things). Everyone knows that the Scots don't go to bed, they collapse where they are standing and wake up in a puddle of piss and vomit.

Sounds like it was recorded in Chicago in about 1960 though.
It has the best track listing of any album I've ever seen, I'll try and dig up a picture of the sleeve.
Night BK
And yes clendrix I'm planning to attend one of these bashes at some stage, they do let me out of the countryside occasionally! I was supposed to be moving to London 6 months ago but various things intervened, including my abject lack of punctuality, and the credit crunch. Definitely be in London in the new year though so will either attend a bash or maybe even organise my own...
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:46, Reply)

There are tons of bash whores in London.
And me. I go along to tease Dok.
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:49, Reply)

Think I may be the youngest person there if I attend! :P
@ Dok and everyone else who didn't take part in m y competition, it's the first track off Seasick Steve's first album. I mentioned the track list on the back, and here it is (quite a challenge when titling the mp3s!)

I'm going to find another bottle of whisky, this one's disappeared alarmingly fast. Back soon!

Tease me Drixy, tease me well good!
You know I love it.
Sam you must come to a bash, we're all bash whores!
Aaarrrggghh didn't come up Sam, I doubt you'll be the youngest one there, unless you are a teenager of course!
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:55, Reply)

do attend a bash, for they are fun.
I think I'm off now so I shall bid you all farewell.
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:56, Reply)

I tend to be the oldest! But I can misbehave with the best of them.
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 22:56, Reply)

Yes Drixy, and I can misbehave with the best of them as well, and I'm one of the old folks!
Soon be drawing my pension an all!
Right I have been told I have to go to bed ;) Night all!
( , Mon 15 Dec 2008, 23:03, Reply)

but have no desire to behave like an old person at bashes.
*remembers to moisturise and take vitamin supplements*

and then I'll be even fucking older.

Night Dok!

I've been out of my 20's for nearly 10 years.
It's not so bad.

granted some of it was kickass awesome, but I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy my 30s a lot more :)
